No. It is the student’s responsiblity to manage their financial outcome. Student loans should be harder to acquire and only applicable to certain programs.

 @9H34J25from Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

Stop the government from giving out student loans and universities will be forced to lower tuitions or have no students.

 @9TZ2XJYfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

no its the cost of living that makes going to school almost hard to manage. Education shouldnt have to take 15 years or more to pay off

 @9RQNPMRfrom Nova Scotia  answered…4mos4MO

The government and universities should work together to only produce graduates with the skills we need. Like they do in Norway

 @9PZM4L4from Quebec  answered…5mos5MO

the price to enter a college course should be adjusted based on said degree's Leading job income so that students don't have to waste thousands of dollars they don't need and don't have to worry about how they will repay their student loans.

 @9MZ37W7from Nova Scotia  answered…6mos6MO

The federal government should ensure that university graduates are able to get jobs in their fields and these jobs pay a reasonable wage

 @9K6M454from Ontario  answered…9mos9MO

 @Prosperitarian from New York  answered…10mos10MO

Texas Offers Trump 1,400 Acres for His Mass Deportation Dream

Officials in Texas have offered President-elect Trump a 1,400-acre ranch for his mass deportation plan.Dawn Buckingham, land commissioner of the Texas General Land Office, said in a letter to Trump Tuesday that her office was “fully prepared” to work with federal agencies that are going to be involved in Trump’s immigration plan, and specifically deportation.Buckingham offered Trump a 1,402-acre lot in Starr County. The lot is owned by the Texas General Land Office and is roughly 35 miles west of McAllen, Texas.She said the agency is ready to work with the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or the U.S. Border Patrol to build a facility on the land for “the processing, detention, and coordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation’s history.”“I am committed to using every available means at my disposal to gain complete operational security of our border,” Buckingham wrote.The letter and offering of land were first reported by The Texas Tribune. Last month, the state bought the land along the U.S.-Mexico border and has plans to build a wall.In the letter, Buckingham criticized her predecessor for not allowing a border wall to be built on the property. Those actions “enabled cartel members and violent criminals to sexually abuse migrant women and children on this land,” she said.On Monday, Trump signaled he would declare an immigration national emergency and use military assets to support his mass deportation plan when he returns to office.

International Criminal Court Issues Arrest Warrant For Netanyahu

The International Criminal Court on Thursday issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and the former Israeli defense minister, Yoav Gallant, for crimes against humanity and war crimes in the Gaza Strip.Karim Khan, the court’s chief prosecutor, had requested the arrest warrants in May for the two Israelis, alongside three top Hamas officials. Israel has fiercely contested the court’s allegations, which include the use of starvation as a weapon of war and “intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population.”The court on Thursday also issued a warrant for the arrest of Muhammad Deif, Hamas’s military chief, for crimes against humanity, including murder, hostage taking and sexual violence. Israel said in August that it had killed Mr. Deif. Mr. Khan had also sought arrest warrants for Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, and Ismail Haniyeh, another top figure in the militant group, both of whom were later killed by Israel.The warrants added to Israel’s declining legitimacy on the world stage, where it has faced increasingly fierce condemnation over its conduct of the war against Hamas in Gaza. Israel insists that it fights in accordance with the international laws of war.
